About this weblog
Here we'll explore the nexus of legal rulings, Capitol Hill
policy-making, technical standards development, and technological
innovation that creates -- and will recreate -- the networked world as we
know it. Among the topics we'll touch on: intellectual property
conflicts, technical architecture and innovation, the evolution of
copyright, private vs. public interests in Net policy-making, lobbying
and the law, and more.

You've got it backwards. Wierd Al parodied Chamillionaire. "Ridin" is off a 2005 album "The Sound of Revenge".

remember how, mere days after weird al yankovic's "eat it" parody got popular, the sing michael jackson released "beat it" a moderately good pop tune sitting on top of al's?

Call me clueless too... my in-touch-ness with current-day popular music peaked in 1979 and has gone downhill ever since... I never even heard of Chamillionaire (is that as in "Who wants to be Chamillionaire?") until just now when I looked him up on Wikipedia and found that the song in question has actually been a Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit for him this year.

I was going to e-mail you about this, but your e-mail form was very intimidating.
As you know, Flickr allows photographers to publish their photos under different Creative Commons licenses. Anyway, Mr. Jurvetson published in Flickr a photo of a hawk's eye under a very permissive Creative Commons license and thus helped further science education. Professor Fernald of Stanford published an interesting article in Science about the evolution of eyes using Mr. Jurvetson's CC-licensed photo.
Sidenote: Mr. Jurvetson's photo was being used in Wikipedia's about Eye and that was how Professor Fernald found the photo.
I know, it is a bit Flickr-centric, but I thought it was pretty cool (considering the dude is an amateur and all).
